A major organ of the endocrine system, the anterior pituitary (also called the adenohypophysis or pars anterior), is the glandular, anterior lobe that together with the posterior lobe (posterior pituitary, or the neurohypophysis) makes up the pituitary gland (hypophysis).ypothalamic Control. Hormone secretion from the anterior pituitary gland is regulated by releasing hormones secreted by the hypothalamus. Neuroendocrine cells in the hypothalamus project axons to the median eminence, at the base of the brain.
The anterior pituitary or adenohypophysis secretes seven of the nine hormones secreted by the gland â¦ . These include growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone, adrenocorticotropic hormone, prolactin, luteinizing hormone, and melanocyte stimulating hormones.his endocrine gland has two  sides which are commonly referred to as the left lobe and the right  lobe. Though small in size, the thyroid gland plays a pivotal role  in the overall health and well-being of the human body. 2 people found this useful.
